Naichung Conan Leung from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Chinese University of Hong Kong will give the 46th William J. Spencer Lecture at 2:30 p.m. today in 1018 Throckmorton Hall. His lecture is titled, "SYZ Transformation in Mirror Symmetry."

Mirror symmetry is a duality between complex geometry and symplectic geometry. In this talk he will explain the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow proposal which explains mirror symmetry via Fourier type transformation along Lagrangian fibrations. He will also discuss recent progress on the SYZ proposal.
